I. Diagnostic acoustics & ultrasoud 

 Ultrasonic surface acoustic wave elastography

This work is developing a new elastography method based on acoustic surface wave and ultra-fast ultrasound imaging for imaging superficial tissues at a tissue boundary. It has great potential in screening diseases such as skin cancer in a safe and reliable manner. 

 

 

   Ultrasonic guided acoustic wave elastography

This work is developing an elastography method based on acoustic guided wave and ultra-fast ultrasound imaging for imaging layered tissues at a tissue boundary. The targeted applications including imaging and evaluating tissue elasticity of plate-like tissue such as diaphram, heart tissues, and deep layers of skin and some flat muscles.

Focused ultrasound induced cancer immunotherapy

Apply focused ultrasound based cancer treatment methods to enchance the effectiveness of conventional cancer immunotherapy. 

Transcranial focused ultrasound neuromodulation for neuro disorders

Utilize focused ultrasound to reshape neuro networks that are responsbibe for different disorders to treat the disorder-generated diseases.

Low-intensity ultrasound for selective cancer ablation 

Understand the physical mechanism of ultrasoud-induced selective damage of cancer cells and develop a side effects free biomechanical strategy for cancer treatment. 

III. Medical acoustic & ultrasonic device
